Elevation
Every once and a while, though far too often for it to be acceptable, I walk into the fourth floor elevator in the Owens Science Building on campus and punch the Floor 4 button. Then I hit it a couple more times and impatiently wonder why the door shut and the elevator is not moving.
Then I realize that, if I want to travel downwards, perhaps I should select a floor that is below the one I am on.

Don't worry Alex, I have done that a few times before, myself. Its even worse in Morrison, when I swipe the card to go to 6, when I'm getting on at 6. So the door closes and opens immediately, and I'm all like, "wow, that was quick!"

I am embarassed for the both of you. Only weak human beings make such trivial mistakes.

Some people have much more important things on their mind, than what floor they are on. Heck, Albert Einstein had trouble remembering his own address, and I wouldn't think of him as being a weak human being.

Are you kidding? I could totally have beaten him in arm wrestling!

Einstein was smart but didn't have his shit together if he kept forgetting his address. And have you seen his hair? Sure, he was creating new fields in science and rewriting the books on others, but that isn't enough. You see, I am a man in possession of both qualities: being a genius and having my shit together. And Dan can beat him in arm wrestling. Therefore we are both better people than Einstein.

I don't even know how to respond to that. The depth of your ignorance simply astounds me.
